Post created on 1:08 pm

Tributes keep pouring in for Kwara State over one of the deadliest massacres recorded in 2026, as reports indicate that the death toll might have risen to 170.

This also comes as the United States has condemned the attacks on Woro and Nuku communities in the Kaiama Local Government Area of the state. In a post on Friday, February 6, the US Mission in Nigeria expressed concern over the gruesome attack and condoled with the affected families.

“The United States condemns the horrific attack in Kwara State in Nigeria, which claimed the lives of more than 160 people, with the death toll still unconfirmed and many still unaccounted for.”

“We express our deepest condolences to the families of those affected by this senseless violence. We welcome President Tinubu’s order to deploy security forces to protect villages in the area and his directive to federal and state officials to provide aid to the community and bring the perpetrators of this atrocity to justice,” the mission noted.
